概括
孕妇在怀孕期间食用海洋鱼可以提高 (Se) 水平,保护胎儿发育免受甲基 (CH3Hg) 毒性的影响. 从鱼类中增加的Se摄入量超过了的风险,确保正常的大脑功能和发育.
科学领域:
- 环境毒理学和人类健康
- 营养生物化学和胎儿发育
背景情况:
- (Se) 对于合成氨基 (Sec) 至关重要,氨基是参与胎儿发育,大脑功能和抗氧化剂防御的必要酶的组成部分.
- 甲基 (CH3Hg) 暴露无可逆地通过结合Sec来抑制酶,可能会损害神经发育,特别是在有限的Se储备的胎儿中.
- 人们对来自海鲜的孕产妇CH3Hg暴露存在担忧,但鱼类通常含有比CH3Hg更高的Se,这表明Se的保护作用.
研究的目的:
- 调查假设,母亲食用海洋鱼可增加胎儿的Se状态,从而防止CH3Hg诱导的抑制酶活性.
- 评估母亲的海鲜摄入量与胎儿组织中的 (Hg) 和 (Se) 水平之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 从夏威夷的100名新生儿身上收集了带血液和胎盘组织.
- 在怀孕的最后一个月,通过食物频率调查评估了母亲的海洋鱼的饮食摄入量,将消费分类为没有,低,高.
- 在母体和胎儿样本中测量Hg和Se度.
主要成果:
- 母亲的海鲜消费增加了胎儿的Hg水平,大约34%的带血样本超过了EPA对Hg的参考水平.
- 然而,胎儿组织中的Se度明显高于Hg水平.
- 海洋鱼类的消费导致带血Se比Hg增加了9.4倍,这表明净阳性Se平衡.
结论:
- 典型的海洋鱼的母体摄入量提供了大量的Se,有效地防止对Hg依赖的Se生物可用性损失,并支持胎儿发育.
- 鱼类中的Se:Hg比率至关重要,这表明食用富含Se的鱼类可以减轻与Hg暴露相关的潜在神经发育风险.
- 这项研究支持海鲜消费对胎儿健康的益处,澄清了复杂的Hg:Se关系,并协调了早期研究的相互矛盾的发现.

Minerals
309
Minerals are essential nutrients that the human body needs in small amounts to work properly. They play a vital role in many bodily functions, such as building strong bones and transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are needed for hormone production or to maintain a normal heartbeat. Major minerals include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium, while trace minerals include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.

Teratogenicity
2.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
